On Flag Day 2009, the POW/MIA Flag takes its place just beneath the Stars and Stripes atop the White House in Washington, Sunday, June 14, 2009. Congress in 1998 mandated the POW/MIA Flag be displayed at the White House, Capitol and other federal buildings on patriotic holidays, including Flag Day. The designer of the POW/MIA flag, Newt Heisley, died last month at his home in Colorado Springs, Colo. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) ORG XMIT: DCSA101 / J. Scott Applewhite AP
